Athena Steen on natural building and trusting life
Season 1, Episode 1
WAYFINDING series
How can you build a life in relationship with the Earth and trust your path as it unfolds?
Athena Steen, co-founder of the Canelo Project, has spent decades exploring this. A master builder and artist working with earth materials, her life reflects a deep listening to place and process.
In this conversation, Athena shares her journey into the “infinite possibility of expression,” raising children through unschooling, and learning to trust her inner voice. We explore the energy of homes, a philosophy of “no mistakes,” and what becomes possible when we pay attention to the patterns of the natural world.
